You've been a member here less than a month. Why would I use you and not one of the other escrow services that have a proven, trustworthy track record?

The answer is, no offense, I wouldn't. You're right, people scam for less than $1. I'd be afraid that you would be one of those people and I would not use you for escrow.

I wouldn't scam for $1. Check my threads, I've had $10 in loans without collateral & didn't run. I've done over 0.5 BTC ish worth of deals & transactions on here. There is no exact reason to use me, I'm just considering it in case someone needs a quick escrow for their transaction & can't find anyone else considering most escrow services don't do low amounts like $5 & are pretty busy so they can't respond to everyone.

But no one besides you can know your intentions, we only know your actions. And you don't have enough of a track record here to really be an escrow. But go ahead and try it if you want and see if people will go for it.

Do you think it would be a good idea to start an escrow service & deposit a set amount to another trusted user while my server is running?IE: I ask someone to hold like 0.1 BTC, and offer to do escrow for deals only up to 0.09.Would that work?Thanks

yes of course you can start an escrow service but on the right time,not now or else many newbies will just open similar thread,escrow service involves money and trust and only trusted members of this forum can set up one at least 5 green mark or zero members with no negative trust..

look, you need experiences and trusts to do an escrow worksWithout that nobody will use it, heck have you ever seen an escrow without experiences and trusts wandering around in this forum ?No offense, better to grow your trusts first then you can reconsider starting an escrow service
